Information processing apparatus, method thereof, and computer-readable storage medium

1. An information processing apparatus that causes a display to display an image captured by one or more image capturing apparatuses, comprising: at least one processor; and a memory that is coupled to the at least one processor and stores one or more computer- readable instructions, wherein the computer-readable instructions cause, when executed by the at least one processor, the at least one processor to function as: an obtaining unit configured to obtain one or more pieces of path information indicating a change in a position of an object on a map and one or more images including the object captured by the one or more image capturing apparatuses; a detecting unit configured to detect an object from the one or more images captured by the one or more image capturing apparatuses; a tracking unit configured to track the detected object in the one or more images; a generating unit configured to generate the path information by performing person identification between the one or more image capturing apparatuses on the tracked object, wherein the generating unit generates, when positions of the object tracked by the tracking unit are not continuous, the path information by predicting a path of a portion which is not continuous based on a positional relationship of the one or more image capturing apparatuses; and a display control unit configured to cause the display to display the one or more pieces of path information and the one or more images including the object captured by the one or more image capturing apparatuses on the map, wherein in accordance with a selection of one piece of path information from among the one or more pieces of path information, the display control unit causes the display to display the one or more images corresponding to the selected one piece of path information from among the one or more pieces of path information.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display control unit causes the display to display, as the information related to the time corresponding to the path information, information indicating an image capturing time.

3. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display control unit causes the display to display, as the information related to the time corresponding to the path information, information indicating a traveling path corresponding to an object that is currently being captured.

4. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display control unit causes the display to display the captured image obtained by a second obtaining unit by associating the captured image with an indicator, on the map information, indicating a position of an image capturing apparatus that captured the image.

5. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display control unit causes the display to display an indicator, on the map information, indicating a position of the object which appears in the captured image obtained by a second obtaining unit.

6. The apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the display control unit causes the display to display, in accordance with the designation of a time, an indicator indicating a position of the object at the time.

7. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display control unit causes the display to highlight and display an area occupied by the object in the captured image obtained by a second obtaining unit.

8. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display control unit causes the display to display, in addition to the captured image obtained by a second obtaining unit, at least one of information identifying a camera that captured the image and an image capturing time, and information indicating whether the captured image is an image captured in the past or is an image being captured currently.

9. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the computer-readable instructions further cause, when executed by the at least one processor, the at least one processor to function as: a control unit configured to control, when the captured image obtained by a second obtaining unit is a captured image which is being captured currently, an image capturing apparatus that is capturing the image such that this image capturing apparatus tracks an object in the captured image by at least one of panning and tilting.

10. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display control unit causes the display to sequentially display a plurality of images including the object corresponding to one piece of path information among the one or more pieces of path information.

11. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein when the plurality of images are to be sequentially displayed on the display, positions on the path information corresponding to the plurality of images are sequentially displayed on the display.

12. An information processing method that causes display to display an image captured by one or more image capturing apparatuses, comprising: obtaining one or more pieces of path information indicating a change in a position of an object on a map and one or more images including the object captured by the one or more image capturing apparatuses; detect an object from the one or more images captured by the one or more image capturing apparatuses; track the detected object in the one or more images; generate the path information by performing person identification between the one or more image capturing apparatuses on the tracked object, wherein the generating unit generates, when positions of the object tracked by the tracking unit are not continuous, the path information by predicting a path of a portion which is not continuous based on a positional relationship of the one or more image capturing apparatuses; and causing the display to display the one or more pieces of path information and the one or more images including the object captured by the one or more image capturing apparatuses on the map, wherein-the display is caused to display, in accordance with a selection of one piece of path information from among the one or more pieces of path information, the one or more images corresponding to the selected one piece of path information among the one or more pieces of path information.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for storing a computer program for causing a computer, which is included in an information processing method that causes display to display an image captured by one or more image capturing apparatuses, to: obtain one or more pieces of path information indicating a change in a position of an object on a map and one or more images including the object captured by the one or more image capturing apparatuses; detect an object from the one or more images captured by the one or more image capturing apparatuses; track the detected object in the one or more images; generate the path information by performing person identification between the one or more image capturing apparatuses on the tracked object, wherein the generating unit generates, when positions of the object tracked by the tracking unit are not continuous, the path information by predicting a path of a portion which is not continuous based on a positional relationship of the one or more image capturing apparatuses; and cause the display to display the one or more pieces of path information and the one or more images including the object captured by the one or more image capturing apparatuses on the map, wherein the display is caused to display, in accordance with a selection of one piece of path information from among the one or more pieces of path information, the one or more images corresponding to the selected one piece of path information among the one or more pieces of path information.
